On-the-run stabbing suspect escapes after ramming police car
A manhunt is underway after a woman was stabbed and the suspect allegedly rammed a police car and escaped.
Cameron Pace is wanted for questioning after a 23-year-old woman was knifed in the stomach at a property in Tipton on Friday morning.
Officers have been searching for Pace since the stabbing and at 6pm yesterday he was spotted by police behind the wheel of a Renault Clio in Brick Kiln Lane in Tipton.
However the 22-year-old, from Hill Street in Tipton, rammed the police patrol car – leaving both cars badly damaged – before abandoning the Clio and running away.
A wanted appeal has now been issued and anyone with information on Pace’s whereabouts is urged to call West Midlands Police.
Detective Inspector Dave Sproson from West Midlands Police's Public Protection Unit, said: “If anyone believes they have seen Cameron Pace, or suspects they know where he is, I’d ask them to get in contact immediately.
“I would also ask Cameron himself to make contact: we need to speak to him to understand what has happened and to hear his side of the story.”
The victim was released from hospital on Friday evening.
Anyone who sees Pace can call West Midlands Police on 999.
Anyone with information on his whereabouts can dial 101 or contact police via their website. Alternatively Crimestoppers can be contacted anonymously on 0800 555111.
